00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 2: meters in fifty seven point five seven second.

Speaker 3: She's in the world.

9
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 4: So yeah, so she's six years of age, and think

10
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 4: of this. We spoke about this year that a Kathy

11
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 4: Freeman's best time was. Was it forty eight?

12
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: Yeah?

13
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 4: Forty eight point sixty three, right, and she got second

14
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 4: in Atlanta.

15
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, extraordinary.

16
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 2: Talking with a friend by the name of Hamish Donald

17
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 2: Blake and Thomas Bryan Ivey at lunch on Friday celebrating

18
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: the Great Man's fortieth Tom there was a lot of

19
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 2: chat around Helena, and then there was a lot of

20
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: chat about the fact that myself, at the tender age

21
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 2: of forty four couldn't even.

22
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: Do this pace. He probably couldn't. That's why I got

23
00:00:59,240 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: my back up a.

24
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 2: Bit, and I when you're underestimating the big rig my

25
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 2: muscle memory and the endurance that I have, which I've

26
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: mastered over many, many years, if not decades. Now, I

27
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 2: understand pace. I understand.

28
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 5: No, you don't understand pace. You you tried to instruct Jack,

29
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 5: your second child at yesterday's cross country and spoke to

30
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 5: him about pace and.

31
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 2: Its sailed unfortunately, Hamish Donald Blake, welcome to the show.

32
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 3: Oh my god. I'm so happy that this is. This

33
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 3: has made it from a long one now the public

34
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 3: arena because it means it might happen. I just want

35
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 3: to bring Kate and Fits up the feed here if

36
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 3: I could for a second. This As we said, we

37
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 3: were all talking about Helena one incredible feed and then

38
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 3: for people that have seen the video or you know,

39
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 3: even Thaw on the news kind of brings tsrys right,

40
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 3: and I just put it in context because I'm not

41
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 3: a runner, We're not athletically based. And I was like,

42
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 3: it's about a three minute ten or three minute fifteen

43
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 3: kilometer pace, ye, right, which is lightning quick.

44
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 5: Right.

45
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 3: I'm not a great run, I was like, and so

46
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 3: my comments, I was like, I don't think anyone at

47
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 3: this table could even get to that pace for fifty meters,

48
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 3: let alone for three hundred meters. And she's sixties olds,

49
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 3: she's done. It's phenomenal. That's where we're That's where we're

50
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 3: where whoa settle down and a huge defense. And I'd

51
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 3: also like to point out that Whippers then goes on

52
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 3: to tell us what he's besold you guys that he

53
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 3: knows he's got muscle memory and he knows about endurance.

54
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 3: I do find it funny that he thinks of three

55
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 3: hundred meters race is in endurance event.

56
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 5: I didn't even think about that, but I think.

57
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 3: That tells you a lot about the feet down in times,

58
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 3: quite a lot.

59
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: I can.

60
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: I just point out too that Hamish Blake, as far

61
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 2: as his sports history and his credentials go as something

62
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 2: that Hamish has read in a book, so he's never

63
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 2: really put them to practice.

64
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: He stepped up lately.

65
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 2: But he's very active at the moment and full of

66
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 2: adventure because he works for eleven weeks of the year

67
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 2: and that's it, so he has nothing else to do. Right.

68
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 3: I'm not the one sitting at month going I could

69
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 3: be the sixth y I'm the guy saying I don't

70
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 3: think we could. And so, because you know we've all

71
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 3: been inspired by Helenasir, I was like, please, I'd love

72
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 3: to see you have a try. I was trying to

73
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 3: make him go directly from lunch to run it for

74
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 3: you were Oh, is that right?

75
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 5: I'm surprised. I mean it sounded as though he was

76
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 5: very well lubricated. I'm surprised he didn't decide to go

77
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 5: and do that.

78
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 4: M Dad.

79
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: I wasn't going to do it.

80
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 3: I mean, unless I've got this horribly wrong and said,

81
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 3: you know, I have a better idea of this, Okay,

82
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 3: if you've got some running fil I'm like, I just don't.

83
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 3: I actually, I'm very sure of what I'm saying here

84
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 3: with and I might have a limited understanding of running,

85
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 3: but I'm sure there are people listening that run a lot.

86
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 3: And the fact that with you you don't right, You've

87
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 3: gone for some jobs with big with Bigden that he

88
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 3: was pulling out. Yeah it's easier twelve first foot eight team,

89
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 3: which is now going to be over twenty five years ago.

90
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 3: So muscle memory is a great thing.

91
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: Is a great thing my muscles.

92
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 5: Like, Okay, so we don't think he can do it,

93
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 5: but how badly is he going to go? Like what

94
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 5: do we think we could do? He could do it

95
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 5: in and how do we actually measure this or work

96
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 5: it out was I would love to recideline with the clock.

97
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 4: I'd like to see can I also throw in as well?

98
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 4: This is a big one. But Helena has been training

99
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 4: so hard. There's shin splints involved at the moment as well.

100
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 4: So I've spoken to her parents about this whip because

101
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 4: we got excited. But it might you might just have

102
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 4: to go for the record yourself. Fine, now you're not

103
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 4: going to be racing against a six year old girl

104
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 4: because we don't Yeah, yeah, we don't want you embarrassed.

105
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: No, no, no, But what I want to do also, I.

106
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 3: Think it's worst pointing outsids. Yeah, this will take nothing

107
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 3: away from Helena. This is the lidify her as a

108
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 3: remarkable achieve said. I mean, she's got the world record,

109
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 3: she's sixty years old. She's staying literally and figuratively well

110
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 3: within her lane. Here he is locked.

111
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 2: Here's what I want to do because I want you

112
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 2: to witness it as close as possible, mister Blake, and

113
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 2: in recent in recent fitness achievements which we would recognize

114
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 2: like the seven minute two.

115
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 3: K on the rower a long time ago.

116
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 2: Now you were my coach and I would ask for

117
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 2: your assistance once again to be trackside as my coach

118
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 2: for this event.

119
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 3: I'm happy to be even though I'm the one taunting

120
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 3: you into the event. I suppose.

121
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: But the more you say I can't, the more I

122
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: know I will.

123
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 3: I suppose. It's an interesting form of coaching. All right,

124
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 3: I've got some conditions. I'll be your coach. But I

125
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 3: was actually just sitting here thinking, and I think Peas

126
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 3: will back me up on this too, and just purely

127
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 3: from the length of time you've known Whip. I mean,

128
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 3: you're on this tube and though this is you've only

129
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 3: had this year to have a closer look at the animal.

130
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 3: Here is my condition for you attempting this race. All right,

131
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 3: I'm going to give you a list of things you're

132
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 3: not allowed to say after the event. Okay, okay. You

133
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 3: cannot claim, in the event of being unsuccessful, not enough

134
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 3: time to warm up. You can't claim too much time

135
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 3: to warm up. You can't claim an off tract distraction.

136
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 3: You can't say it's not the surface you're used suit.

137
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 3: You can't say it's not the shoes you're you. You

138
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 3: can't say it's an old injury. You can't say you

139
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 3: lost because of a new injury. You can't say it's

140
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 3: the wrong shoes. You can't say it's the corrections that

141
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 3: the lasers were. The lasers were to you. You can't

142
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 3: say you weren't ready for the bend in the track

143
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 3: while you're used to the track turning the other way.

144
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 3: You can't say it was a crop wind ahead winds.

145
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 3: You can't say it was a saw tummy, the wrong breakfast,

146
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 3: something in you're right, or you had a change of

147
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 3: heart during the race, and you.

148
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: You're making me sound like a wind.

149
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 5: I think we're covered.

150
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 4: You.

151
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 3: I agree that they are off limits. And then in

152
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 3: the event you not making that fifty eight second cutoff

153
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 3: or fifty seven to fifty seven, then you might have

154
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 3: to just admit that the girl who's the fastest recorded

155
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 3: six year old and who'd trained her harder for this event,

156
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 3: has somehow beaten a man that laughed in something atholetically

157
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 3: impresident on the running fast twenty five years ago.

158
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 2: This is coming from a girl who went home from

159
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 2: school because his feet were too hot.

160
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 3: Okay, very harsh.

161
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: I will not use any of those excuses.

162
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 4: I'm thinking maybe a slipstream sort of outfit Kathy's Freeman

163
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,239
Speaker 4: two thousand Olympic style as well that would.

164
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: Look like that sports bed Addams running fin straight with

165
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: a bin.

166
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 3: Funny you mention that fits because of course this is

167
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 3: FI radio. So I think there has to be some

168
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 3: sort of stakes for this. If you win, you cover

169
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 3: yourself in glory. I'll eat my words, can run faster

170
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 3: than the world's faster sixty year old and that will

171
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 3: that will be your that will be your victory. If

172
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 3: you lose for a second, at first, I was like,

173
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 3: I think, and I think everyone would appreciate this. You

174
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 3: have to either way or remaining copies of the far

175
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 3: too personal trainer at once is some sort of charity

176
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 3: for fifty of them. The rest maybe there's like maybe

177
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 3: there's like you know, disadvantaged teams who can't get their

178
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 3: hands on erotica or something, and you have to give

179
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 3: it to that charity or something just so you never

180
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 3: can mention it again, yep. Or slop cars with Tommy

181
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 3: for two months.

182
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 2: Nothing wrong with Tommy's probably would last to drive the

183
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 2: range or.

184
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 3: And this is probably more in the realm of the speed.

185
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 3: I think if you lose that there could only be

186
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 3: one real reason for you losing, and that's that's aerodynamics.

187
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 3: And I think their hair at the moment is an

188
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 3: issue for aerodynamics, so it's probably a head shave, isn't it.

189
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 4: Medication mean to get it to this thickness because we're

190
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 4: fortunate fifty.

191
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 5: Let's do it for charity. And then so we admit to.

192
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: Feed touch the head, Yeah, we do because it has

193
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: to go.

194
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 2: Not touch the beautiful ox which everybody has been commenting

195
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 2: on saying how great it looks.

196
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: What if we just cut the back. What if we

197
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: cut the back it's almost balls the good bit like

198
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 1: the backs the new look because you don't know, Hamish,

199
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: what if we do go shorter on the sides?

200
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 4: Hamish?

201
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: So he's nice, we cut.

202
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 5: That ballad in that everyone Yeah, at the moment back.

203
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 3: Where the drag factory is actually on the side had

204
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 3: him in the wind tunnel.

Speaker 1: Thank you coach. Okay, well take I'm glad you are

210

Speaker 3: and I think at one stage was one of the clones.
